New tigervnc packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to
fix security issues.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/tigervnc-1.10.1-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded.
From tigervnc.org: "This is a security release to fix a number of issues
that were found by Kaspersky Lab. These issues affect both the client and
server and could theoretically allow a malicious peer to take control
over the software on the other side. No working exploit is known at this
time, and the issues require the peer to first be authenticated. We still
urge users to upgrade when possible."
